Consumer Description

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE FROM A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS HAD THE CAR IN THE GARAGE FOR A QUICK CHECKUP. MY MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE WITH ONLY 50,000 ORIGINAL MILES LOOKS LIKE IT IS FROM A VEHICLE WITH 150,000 MILES BECAUSE OF THE SLUDGE BUILDUP. I AM AFRAID TO PURCHASE A USED ENGINE (WHICH IS HARD TO FIND TO BEGIN WITH) BECAUSE IT MAY FAIL BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES FROM SLUDGE AND ALSO THE TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM I HAVE DISCOVERED AFTER MUCH RESEARCH OF THE 2.7L ENGINE ON THE INTERNET. INSTEAD I HAVE TO PAY OVER $5000.00 TO HAVE A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE INSTALLED IN MY USED VEHICLE. *TR
